Another job on the list for today is to fit the new bearing races into the front hubs so after a good cleaning I used the old bearing races as drivers to press in the new ones then these and the cleaned up stubs received a first coat of paint they will get another coat tomorrow and the I will leave them for a few days for the paint to harden.
I will be using White Knight Rust Guard epoxy enamel on most of the car as I have had good results with it in the past, it takes a few days to harden but is very long lasting and if applied in 2 thin coats with a brush it looks as good as a spray job. Basic gloss black is the mainstay for the suspension and mechanical bits but the chassis frame and some parts will be done in Cottage Green this is a very 60s color and will add a nice contrast to the panels, I have purchased brush paint and spray cans of both colors and will decide what gets what as I go.
